No. Designing a new jet will be simpler than the associated rework.

Looks like the order is released in staggered manner.

Where did you come across the number 20-22?

How is it you are unable to understand simple things in first go? IAF is more than satisfied with the performance of MB ejection seat. It is Argentinians who prefer American ejection seat and not IAF. IAF doesn't want to change the ejection seat. If we are going to change the ejection seat for...

We are not replacing the ejection seat for IAF's version. IAF is more than happy with the performance of MB ejection seat. All I am saying is if we are replacing the ejection seat for Argentina then just select the new ejection seat that Argentinians prefer.

Getting high on too much Pootin's propaganda lowers one's IQ. Read the first line of the article. https://idrw.org/argentina-throws-a-bouncer-that-could-impact-lca-tejas-and-jf-17-bid/ If we are replacing the ejection seat for Argentina, then just replace the ejection seat with one that...

What good would come of it? MB ejection seats are really good. BTW Argentinians prefer US-manufactured ejection seats like ACES II.

The following modes are under testing High resolution imaging (SAR Mode) High resolution tracking (SAR Mode) GMTI on RBM, SAR DBS – Doppler Beam Sharpening Air-to-Sea

But they have demonstrated actual take-off, landing and flight operations from Navy's shore based test facility with actual payload. Both aircraft are also operational in their intended roles. Mig-29K was a mistake and IN has realized that. Even though INS Vikrant was designed keeping Mig-29K...

My post is not about technical capabilities of any aircraft but about sale challenges for Tejas. Lot of things go in sale of military hardware to third country but having a finished product is the basic number 1 requirement. Just look at Navy trails for SH and Rafale-M. Both Boeing and Dassault...

Buddy you are comparing Apple to Oranges. US has a mature aerospace industry and academic base with proven track record while India doesn't. Like it or not US has a brand reputation when it comes to aerospace industry with several successful projects. Even before starting the F-35 project US...

Israel–Malaysia currently maintain no formal diplomatic relations. Malaysia officially maintains an outwardly hostile position towards Israel and won't accept Israel components and sub-assemblies in their defense apparatus. Malaysian passports bear the inscription: "This passport is valid for...

Lets analyze the statement. Mk. 1A is properly funded Part of its tech is already flying in two Tejas Mk1 FOC There are no changes in external configuration, maybe some optimizations All these are qualities of an experimental aircraft and not an operational aircraft. In-short what we offer is...

It shows that your Air Force has confidence in the jet that they are ready to use the aircraft in contested combat. This in turn gives confidence to third countries buying the aircraft. People will give thousand reasons why Tejas was (or might) be rejected by Malaysian Air Force but two primary...

Its not about how expensive or cheap the enemy drone is but what you are protecting. The drone may be cheap but asset you are protecting may be not. Even if drone is not targeting any accent, overhead drones givers jitters to ground units. Shooting down such drones increases morale and...

As I earlier said SK is not our friend but our competitor. After K-9 deal people where dancing as if SK is our friend.

IC design is not limited to Bengaluru. It is spread evenly along major Indian cities like Pune, Hyderabad, Noida, Mumbai, etc. Second the answer is very complicated. Even companies like AMD, Intel, Apple, Qualcomm, etc. down own 100% IP for their chips. Some IP or other is generally procured...

That the thing unless the state is a pariah their is no weapon sanction on them. Argentina is an exception. Most countries that we can export to (Malaysia, Egypt, ME, Colombia, etc.) won't have such problems. However I agree with your instincts. We need to have a local aerospace Eco-system.

ISRO uses commercially available MPUs and MCUs. ISRO is purely a civilian organization and GoI has made a point to keep ISRO a civilian organization for this particular reason so that it doesn't face unnecessary sanctions and can focus on its core field and objectives As for what is used in...

The point is that countries holding patent or IP can block the semiconductor access to you; as done by west against Russia. In that case the LRU manufacturers also won't sell their LRU, semiconductor vendors will not sell you their chips and this becomes a contiguous problem. You need to...
